The essentials of resource fallback and how to debug failures
Resource loading failures can be tricky to debug. However, once you have a basic overview of how the ResourceManager works, as well as a few debugging tools, you’ll be able to easily get to the bottom of most problems.
This post will...

The most expensive parts of reading resources are probing for satellite assemblies and deserializing objects. The more you can avoid having the ResourceManager do either of those two tasks, the faster your resource reads will be. In this post I'll cover how to reduce assembly probing, and the first thing...

Intro
ResourceReader is a useful type for quickly enumerating through resources in a resources file, but it has trouble if it cannot deserialize one of the resources. This limitation is compensated for, in v2.0 of the framework, with the GetResourceData method. This method allows the caller to retrieve...

Ahmed & I did a video presentation on System.Resources and how to use the ResourceManager for loading localized strings (and images, etc) in a globalized application. If you're new to using the ResourceManager, this should be a good high-level overview of why and how to use the ResourceManager, what...

If you've ever wanted to look at managed localizable resources, grab a copy of ResView from the BCL team demos page, or at this site http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/clr/bcl/demos/demos/zipfiles/ResViewCS.zip. ResView will allow you to look at the resources in a main assembly, a satellite assembly, a .resources...
